Bad Groupy (EST/DE/USA)
Bad Groupy is JEFF SURAK AND KRIS KULDKEPP.
Walkmans, broken cables, egg-whisks, double bass, smartphones, effect pedals, copper poles, contact microphones, and more, belong to the collection of various sound making tools of the transantlantic experimental music duo Bad Groupy (EST/DE/DC). We combine free improvisation with programmatic constructs and everyday noises mutating into spherical soundscapes that fill simultaneously the physical performance space and listeners’ headspace with often familiar yet unique sound objects.
Jeff Surak has been a fixture within the experimental community for many years, curating the Sonic Circuits Festival, programming for Rhizome DC, and running his own Zeromoon label. His own work manifests non-linear narratives through lo-fi techniques and archaic technologies.

Off-World Moments feat Sonja Peuhkurinen
Off-World Moments is the ambient music project created by the Finnish musician, dancer and multidisciplinary artist Lauri Peltonen.
Off-World Moments trusts the power of Music and Silence and their ability to transform and elevate our lives. As the name suggests the moments that are captured in sound are moments that unite different worlds. The voyage of Off-World Moments has just begun and it might lead us into unexpected places!
